After watching that video, does anyone really have any sympathy for this guy?

More after the jump..

Instead of going up to the microphone to simply ask a question, this moron just rambles on and on in an obvious attempt to make this event about HIM, not John Kerry.

Watch the video. Meyer sounds like the Tasmanian Devil on crack, just rambling on and on. At several points, Kerry even tries to calmly answer the kid's question, but all Meyer does is continue to ramble and put the focus on him.

He even says to the security guard at one point, "He had two hours to speak, now it's my turn"

Gee, why was that moron? Could it be because everyone in that auditorium was there TO SEE JOHN KERRY, NOT YOU!!!

So, because ramble boy won't shut up and let the SCHEDULED SPEAKER TALK, campus security tries to get to him to leave the microphone.

But Andrew Meyer would have none of that.

Like a kid whose mommy wouldn't buy him a lollipop, Meyer yells, screams, whines, and resists the attempts of SEVERAL campus security officers to subdue him.

Stop right there for as minute Andrew. If there are SEVERAL campus security officers around you, don't you think it's time to cool off? You made your point, all be it in such an immature way it makes me weep for that generation that this is the kind of person who represents them.

His antics are complete and total disrespect for:

A. John Kerry
B. Authority
C. Everyone else at that speech

Given the Virginia Tech shootings and other recent incidents that have been in the news on college campuses, I'm sure campus security guards around the country are a bit on the edge.
If I am in their position, I would have absolutely done the same thing.

A rambling psycho who won't stop with a major political figure just feet away. What should they have done, just let him keep going?

How dumb can this kid be that he has the audacity to question why he is being arrested the whole time? When a uniformed police officer, at this point well within their right to subdue you, REPEATEDLY tells you to calm down, you calm down buddy.

The complete lack for authority and the selfishness displayed in that video is truly disturbing.
People that show up to have a healthy give and take with a major political figure have the entire incident spoiled by a selfish idiot with his own agenda.

I also find it rather strange that this whole thing was posted on the internet by his friends just minutes after the incident happened. Can anyone say publicity stunt?

I applaud the Campus Police for not putting up with it.

Contrary to popular opinion, they didn't violate free speech here. Andrew Meyer was given his opportunity to exercise his right to free speech, but instead chose to abuse that right and make a scene and be an obnoxious jerk.

Meyer was given the taser because several attempts to subdue him and comply with a police officer's request were flat out ignored.
